? Why do you think the actuator is at fault? Unless it's real old, that's not likely. You can test the actuator by just hooking it up to a car battery or car battery charger. See if it moves one way, then reverse the wires to see if it moves the other way. You can also use the car battery to move the thing back to a reference position to start over (ie when you reset the
VBOX). Actuators usually specify 24 or 36 volts, but they will work on even 12 volts, they just move slower. When not under load, I've even run them off a 12V wall wart, but I wouldn't recommend that if it was on the dish.
